README
same-file
=========
A safe and cross platform crate to determine whether two files or directories
are the same.
[](https://github.com/BurntSushi/same-file/actions)
[](https://crates.io/crates/same-file)
Dual-licensed under MIT or the [UNLICENSE](http://unlicense.org).
### Documentation
https://docs.rs/same-file
### Usage
Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
same-file = "1"
```
### Example
The simplest use of this crate is to use the `is_same_file` function, which
takes two file paths and returns true if and only if they refer to the same
file:
```rust,no_run
use same_file::is_same_file;
fn main() {
assert!(is_same_file("/bin/sh", "/usr/bin/sh").unwrap());
}
```
### Minimum Rust version policy
This crate's minimum supported `rustc` version is `1.60.0`.
The current policy is that the minimum Rust version required to use this crate
can be increased in minor version updates. For example, if `crate 1.0` requires
Rust 1.20.0, then `crate 1.0.z` for all values of `z` will also require Rust
1.20.0 or newer. However, `crate 1.y` for `y > 0` may require a newer minimum
version of Rust.
In general, this crate will be conservative with respect to the minimum
supported version of Rust.
